MPLS Network Solutions in the UK for Logistics & Supply Chain
Enterprise-grade MPLS connectivity engineered for logistics operations across the UK.
Guaranteed QoS
Priority traffic classes ensure voice, video, and critical applications always perform at their best across every site.
Private & Secure
Your data travels over a private network — never touching the public internet — with built-in encryption and access controls.
Fully Managed
From circuit provisioning to ongoing monitoring, our team handles every aspect of your MPLS infrastructure.
Logistics with multiple depots, warehouses, and distribution centres face a critical challenge: keeping SAP TM, Oracle Transportation Cloud, and fleet tracking platforms performing consistently across every location. Standard internet connections introduce variable latency, packet loss, and unpredictable speeds that degrade shipment records, tracking data, and customs declarations transfers and frustrate dispatchers and warehouse operatives.
Cloudswitched deploys managed MPLS networks specifically designed for UK logistics. Our Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) network connects multiple sites with guaranteed bandwidth, low latency, and quality-of-service traffic prioritisation, ensuring your dispatchers and warehouse operatives experience identical performance whether they are in your head office or the most remote depot.
How it works for Logistics businesses
A clear, structured process from consultation to ongoing support.
1
Tailored Network Design
We analyse your traffic flows, application requirements, and site locations to architect an MPLS topology that delivers optimal performance without over-provisioning.
2
Carrier-Agnostic Procurement
We source circuits from multiple tier-1 carriers, ensuring competitive pricing and avoiding single-vendor lock-in across your entire network.
3
Proactive Network Operations
Our 24/7 NOC monitors every node and circuit, resolving performance issues before they affect your business operations.
MPLS Network Solutions in the UK for Logistics
Guaranteed Inter-Site Performance
Every connection between your depots, warehouses, and distribution centres runs on a private, SLA-backed MPLS backbone with guaranteed bandwidth, eliminating the latency spikes that disrupt SAP TM, Oracle Transportation Cloud, and fleet tracking platforms.
Traffic Prioritisation
Quality-of-service policies ensure mission-critical logistics applications receive priority bandwidth, even when dispatchers and warehouse operatives are running large shipment records, tracking data, and customs declarations transfers simultaneously.
Scalable Multi-Site Architecture
Add new depots, warehouses, and distribution centres to your MPLS network without redesigning the topology. Each site connects seamlessly with consistent security policies and performance guarantees.
Regulatory Compliance Support
Private MPLS transport keeps shipment records, tracking data, and customs declarations off the public internet entirely, supporting your DVSA regulations and customs compliance obligations with network-level isolation and encryption.

Frequently Asked Questions
MPLS is a private wide-area network technology that routes traffic across dedicated pathways rather than the public internet. For logistics, this means your SAP TM, Oracle Transportation Cloud, and fleet tracking platforms operate with guaranteed bandwidth, minimal latency, and consistent performance across all depots, warehouses, and distribution centres.
MPLS pricing for logistics depends on the number of depots, warehouses, and distribution centres, bandwidth requirements, and SLA tier. Cloudswitched provides fully scoped quotations after a free site survey, with circuits typically starting from £250 per site per month.
Yes. Our MPLS network covers the entire UK, connecting your depots, warehouses, and distribution centres regardless of location. We design the topology around your specific logistics operations, ensuring consistent performance between all locations.
MPLS offers guaranteed performance with fixed SLAs, making it ideal for latency-sensitive logistics applications like SAP TM, Oracle Transportation Cloud, and fleet tracking platforms. SD-WAN provides more flexibility and can be more cost-effective for less critical traffic. Many logistics use both in combination.
Typical MPLS installation for logistics takes 30 to 90 working days depending on site locations and circuit availability. Cloudswitched manages the entire process, including Openreach liaison, router deployment, and configuration of QoS policies for your logistics applications.
